Critical Thinking
The Chinese company BYD is pursuing electric cars and hopes to become the world’s largest
car company. With the financial support of American Warren Buffett, the company, which
has only been in existence for a few years mostly making batteries, has caught the attention
of not only Mr. Buffett but also many in the auto industry.
ELECTRIC AND HYBRID CARS
Electric cars (also known as electric vehicles or EVs) rely exclusively on battery power. With
an all-electric EV there is no internal combustion engine, muffler, gasoline tank, air and fuel
filters, and other parts needed to run a gasoline powered system. The vehicle itself also
produces no tailpipe emissions, and by getting its power from an efficient utility company,
overall, it produces fewer greenhouse gases. This is especially true if the electricity is
produced with nuclear power, clean coal, or natural gas. EVs are also less expensive to fuel
on a per mile basis. Electric cars, however, have a shorter driving range and are difficult to
operate with long distance travel.
There is also some safety concerns associated with using a lithium-ion battery, as lithium is a
highly reactive material prone to explosion

1. Do you think electric cars may become a viable alternative to gasoline-powered
vehicles? What is the future of the electric car? Explain your answer especially in the
context of KSA as Saudi Arabia is moving towards carbon free economy. (3 Marks)
2. Given a business strategy of being the word leader in manufacturing electric cars with
innovative technology, what operations and supply chain strategy do you think BYD
should pursue? Identify what operations and supply chain should do to help BYD
compete including a mission, objectives, distinctive competence, and key decisions.
(4 Marks)
3. How electric car will be useful in Saudi Arabia’s Neom city project to achieve
Kingdom’s vision? (3 Marks)

Note: Go to the company website and answer the above questions. This is just an advice.
You may surf net, company report, Saudi vision 2030 to answer the questions. Each answer
should lie between 250 to 300 hundred words.
